Naseem Hamed
British boxer (born 1974)
Naseem Hamed (Arabic: نسيم حميد; born 12 February 1974), nicknamed Prince Naseem and Naz, is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1992 to 2002.[4][5] He held multiple featherweight world championships between 1995 and 2000, and reigned as lineal champion from 1998 to 2001.

Now, only boxing aficionados see how Hamed inspired the bombastic showmanship of Tyson Fury, Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya and Mick Conlan. Hamed redefined boxing not only through his exceptional skills, but also because he turned pugilism into show business in all its fistic glory. He was, rightly, inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015. However, another facet of his identity is often ignored. Hamed, an Arab, was a cultural icon who helped shape the identity of the British South Asian diaspora. He also offered an alternative model for those of us who found that identity too reductive in an increasingly multicultural country. For a brief moment in
